A. "T.B." M.

i had a dream
that i was touring with a band.
what band? i do not know.
but i was touring.

and along with the band i was touring with
was another band
that are fairly well known.

and i was chilling,
while this band was sound checking
just kind of watching what was going on
what went where
who did what

and sitting at the drums was the drummer
for this well known band
so he called me over

he was bored
he kind of wanted someone to talk to
i was there
and wasn't busy
so he talked to me

we talked about things
i can't remember what they were
and then
we talked about our aspirations
for the future

i told him that i'm working on playing guitar
and piano
but if i had access to it
i'd be workig on playing
bass and drums
as well

he paused
"what?" i asked
he looked at the drum kit
he was seated in front of
"i play drums,you know."
"i know, what's your point?"
"i could teach you."

i was shocked and thrilled
but i didn't show it at first

"get up!" i commanded him
"why?" he asked, standing up
"so i can give you this"
i jumped at him with a hug
the biggest hug i can ever remember giving
despite the fact that it wasn't real

he smiled
and my dream faded away.

i was dreading it up until i found out he shared the same one
it's silly of me, i know
but he made it okay to have my birthday :D
